He was cursing me, right?
He was definitely cursing me, right?
Theo helped me get to the couch and had me sit down on it. I looked at Mason. "I vaguely heardCecilia's name just now. Do you happen to know what she's up t o recently, Doctor Lynch?"
"Why would you ask me?" Mason shrugged. "How would I know what she's been up to recently?”
Those words made me furious.
Although he had no idea about the child, it was a fact h e once hooked up with Cecilia. After helearned that I had lost contact with her and had no idea how she was doing recently, why was henot the slightest bit concerned? He did not even ask me if I had reached out to her or how she wascoping.
I wanted to scold him, but I understood that I was in n o position to do so. I glared at him, looked atTheo, and said, "Send me back to the bedroom.”
He glanced at Mason and felt that there was something wrong between both of us. He wasconfused. He carried me back to the bedroom and asked hesitantly, "What's going on between youand Mason?"
"The sight of him annoys me," I replied coldly.
U H
I did not return to the office in the next few days. I would lay on the bed all day like a maimedperson. I was only allowed to go out when I could walk on my own without anyone’s help.
Whaldorf City had been snowing in the past two days. Even though the snow was slow to melt, itdid not pile up on the ground. There was only a thin layer of snow on the ground. I stood at theentrance of the villa and played with the snow with my foot. It felt nice.
Upon remembering Jerome saying that he would come with Cecilia at the end of the year, I took outmy phone and called him. I wanted to ask him when he was coming. I could go pick them up at theairport when I got better.
The call got through in just a moment. I smiled and spoke first, "Jerome, it’s New Year's soon. Whenare you bringing Cecilia here?"
Jerome did not reply.
My nose started running. I had no idea why I felt like crying. "I miss you guys. If you guys aren’tcoming soon, I’ll fly there."
"Don't come," Jerome said impatiently, "We’re good here. We initially planned on going back beforethe new year, but it's still winter in Whaldorf City and the temperature is too cold. We're worried thatthe little one will replace it hard to adapt and fall sick, so we've decided to fly back in spring."
I could not lie to myself anymore. With a sniffle, I said, "Jerome, I haven’t said one word to Ceciliaever since the baby was born. Tell me truthfully, did something happen to her?"
"What are you thinking about?” Jerome sighed a little. "Cecilia is doing fine. She didn't get muchsleep last night because the baby was crying. She's trying to get some sleep now. I'll have her callyou back when she’s awake.”
"Really?" I was still doubtful. I had lost count of how many times Jerome said the same sentence tome, yet I had never received a call from Cecilia.
"Really." Jerome's voice started to fade. "TH talk to you next time. The baby is almost awake."
"Wait." I was afraid that he might hang up, so I said in a hurry, "Send me your address first. I mightvisit you guys soon since I have nothing going on."
Jerome said helplessly, "You’d better not do that. The condition of your body is still not stable. We'lldefinitely head over in spring."
I pursed my lips. "Well then, get Cecilia to call me when she's awake."
I ended the call, but the worry in my heart persisted. Since we were living in different cities, therewas no way I could resolve that worry-unless I went to see them.
I opened Whatsapp and sent Jerome a text message.
